Description
In spring 2020 and 2021, the City of San Antonio’s Office of Historic Preservation (OHP) ScoutSA team, led by Dr. Jenny Hay, joined Dr. Lindsey Wieck and students in her St. Mary’s University Digital Public History graduate course to implement a community- based pedagogy partnership. Together, we challenged Wieck’s students to produce innovative digital projects for the OHP using a consultant- in- training model to create a project- based learning experience. As a Hispanic- Serving Institution, St. Mary’s Public History program uses projects like these to better ensure that the campus’s predominantly BIPOC students can grow as knowledge producers, providing space to them to tell stories of populations largely overlooked by scholars. Through this project, students have felt empowered to tell these undertold stories, while also gaining important skills in doing public, engaged scholarship. This chapter outlines our collaborative process in this course, sharing how we structured the course project and supported students in developing important professional skills and publicly- engaged projects.
